You may have heard of the Lean Startup before. It’s a great book written by Eric Ries and it helps people stay on track towards building a strong value proposition for their product or business.

There’s a lot of books on this topic, but this one comes from Business Model Generation written by Alexander Osterwalder.
It might not have everything you’ll need, but it is a great place to start.
